Default Different way of showing a tank

Never have I ever seen a tank like this one

I read once that the floor would never hold the weight of this tank (660G) so steel beams were installed in above (and I think below) to distribute the weight. I can't wrap my head around how it works but it's crazy to me that it's a 660G tank in a condo that is not ground level.

Hahaha, I can't even figure out where to safely place my tank, let alone suspend it in the air!
